  1. It depends on how early you go. Some things arn't open till later. Look at the park website. https://www.nps.gov/yell/index.htm I tend to stay outside the park. This last summer we stayed on 20 outside of West Yellowstone because we were doing some stuff in that area. Buffalo Run RV Park & Cabins, 3402 US-20, Island Park, ID 83429, buffalorunrvpark.com, (208) 558-7112 Bill
  2. Well well look who is back in country. Bill
  3. You may not be affected my the recall. I bet there will be more about what to do latter. In the meantime don't use the ladder you don't have. Bill
  4. I think we were there in 2014. Didn't have any problem. Like all places the next guy in may have problems. Can't wait till Chandler. Bill

  6. Truckers use it in their reefer units to. Bill
  7. I don't have any experience but a quick search showed they were highly rated on one of the sailing/boating forums. Bill
  8. I have seen it in several states. The Town Pump - Flying J Travel Center just west of Missoula, MT has 4 different diesel products on each pump. Red number 2, 50/50 biodiesel, winter number 1 and plain old number 2. That is the first time I have heard of a RV geting tested. Bill
  9. Keon, I am with you there should be no way you don't know you are filling up with RED. There maybe some that dumb that they don't know but it is pretty hard to miss the signage at the pumps I have seen at truck stops. It is possible he just thought he would get by buying the cheapest diesel at the pump. Bill

  11. Yes haven't you heard the term "clean machine". Bill
  12. Please try again. El Paso is on I-10. South out of El Paso will put you in Juarez. I think you will just have to watch the wearer reports as you get ready to leave and adjust your travel to fit the conditions, including staying put till there is a break in the weather. The I-40 to I-30 would probbabley be the way I would go unless you are nervous about the weather. You could go straight south to I-10. Look at from Nashville I-65 to Birmingham then I-20 to Meridian, MS where you could drop down to New Orleans and pick up I-10. Yes it is longer but you can spend a few days in NO. That's never a bad thing. I got to quit now I am thinking about Beignets at Cafe Dumonde http://www.cafedumonde.com/beignets Then you are on track for San Antonio or drop down to the Gulf coast for some seafood. If you go far enough south you are in the Rio Grand Valley Snowbird capital of Texas, we don't need no Arizona. Bill
  13. I don't have a spot in that area. I would use RV park reviews and RV parky to look for one. http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ http://www.rvparky.com/ What s your planned route and time frame? We had some cold weather in Fort Worth but by Tuesday it will be in the 70's so the weather may be moderating along I-40. Bill
  14. I would call Fleetwood right now. 800-322-8216 Pull the cover off the thermostat there may be a fuse inside. Take it out and check it. I have a 12v fuse panel and some circuit breakers in the foot of the bed platform. Bill
  15. Walt, I had a 2017 Ford Fusion 2.7 ecoboost for a rental over the holidays I was impressed with the car and it had a pretty big trunk for it's size. I would put it in the mix if I was looking to replace my CR-V. Bill
  16. If you are going to try to start the main engine I would turn on the block heater tonight if possible. but at least a couple of hours before. Bill
  17. I would look into that. Most coaches have a connection where after the house batteries are at full charge they ill charge the start batteries. What makes me think something is wrong is most coaches start the generator off the house batteries. Some have an auto start system to start the generator before the batteries get to low. Bill
  18. The question now is why didn't, at least your generator start with the house batteries connected using the switch. By the way if I need to use the house batteries I need someone to push the start or hold the switch. On my coach the battery connect is a temporary switch and I can't reach both switches at the same time. Gotta love people who design coaches. Bill
  19. What are your house batteries? If they are 6v lead acid golf cart, I would check the water level. Find out why your inverter isn't charging your batteries. Bill
  20. I am leaning toward bad batteries too. How old are your batteries? No you didn't do anything that would hurt your batteries. I don't know if the deal is still running but I bought new original equipment start batteries from Freightliner for $69.00 each. I would call and see if they still have them for that price. Bill
  21. Do you have it plugged into shore power? Do you have access to power for a battery charger? What do you mean by "all chassis services not effective"? How old are your batteries? What kind of batteries, lead acid, or maintenance free or other? As Rich said I would clean all battery connections including grounds. We need this information to make suggestions relevant to your situation. Bill
  22. I wasn't clear, you plugged the hard wired power cord (it was only 30 amp) into shore power or into the generator. No transfer switch. Bill
  23. I think the silicone spray is the best method. Herman, I can just see his next post "soap bubbles coming out of window track when it rains". Bill
  24. I had a older coach that was like Obed's. Mine was a 26 ft 1978 Executive by Monaco. You had to plug the shore power into the generator. Bill
  25. Make sure all the valves are in the right position and fully open or closed. I had an instance where the bypass valve wasn't fully closed it allowed more cold water to flow than hot If I remember it didn't have much volume either. Bill
